Every time I start to do research I find myself searching all over for lists of 18th century artists. Not the fancy, formal portrait type, but the kind that painted and sketched the average person. That's one reason I love the Walpole Gallery so much, there's a great deal of working people pictured. I figured I should put together a list of artists and some of their more famous (and useful) works for myself to save time, and there's no reason why I shouldn't post it here! These are just a small number of works to reference, but having the artists names can bring up many others (and most have books of their works available as well).

Thank you for the Research Goldmine! You made my day!
Hi I'm working on a research paper for school, and i was wondering if the Sandby print your talking about is this one http://www.ivanhenry.com/extras/16th_17th_18th_century_criers_market_vendors_files/collage_lb_image_page39_38_1.png, and if it is, how do you know its housed at the Nottingham gallery?
It is that print. This particular one came from the book Dress of the People that has locations for many of the 18th century images that are commonly found around the internet. Good luck with your paper!
